Oklahoma, known as the "Sooner State", joined the Union on November 16, 1907 as the 46th state. The word "Oklahoma" comes from two Choctaw Indian words (okla+humma) meaning "red people" and was suggested as the name for the Indian territory created by the Indian Removal Act of 1830.
There is archeological evidence of mound structures inhabitated between 850-1450 AD. In the 1700s the area was claimed French explorers, making Oklahoma part of the 1804 Louisiana Purchase.
 Oklahoma is in the West South Central Region (US Census Bureau) and is bordered on the north by Colorado and Kansas, the east by Missouri and Arkansas, the south and west by Texas and the west by New Mexico.

The perennial and deciduous Eastern Redbud is the state tree of Oklahoma. The blossoms appear in the early spring. Native Americans tribes used eastern redbud bark for a tea to treat coughs, cold infusions of the roots and inner bark for fevers and congestion. The flowers can be used in salads and for making pickled relish, the inner bark of twigs gives a mustard-yellow dye.
